TOILET-MIRROR STRUCTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, FREDERICK C. Wrnznncone, of Chicago, in the countyof Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new 5 and usefulImprovements in Toilet-Mirror Structures, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to toilet mirror structures particularly useful forladies to hair dressing to enable the top and back of the head to beseen as well as the face.

The object of the invention is to provide a light, portable stand fortwo mirrors which will enable independent universal ad- '15 justment ofthe mirrors and which will enable relative bodily adjustment of themirrors such adjustments to be accomplished without the use of setscrews, clamping or other mechanism which require special 2manipulations.

In the accompanying drawings the various features of the invention areclearly illustrated, and Figure 1 is a side elevational view of thestructure, and Fig. 2 is a 25 sectional view showing the adjustment forthe mirrors.

The supporting stand comprises a base 5 which may be in the form of acasting and shod with a disk 6 of felt or other cushionmaterial. Theupper end of the base has a vertical pivot pocket '2 for receiving apivot pin 8 extending downwardly from the supporting head 9. This headsupports the lower mirror structure L comprising a 35 mirror frame m anduniversal adjusting mechanism a for enabling the mirror to be adjustedat various angles. As shown, the mechanism it comprises a ball 10secured to the head 9 by means of the pin 1.1 extendsecured by means ofa set screw or pin 12. The ball has a diametral pivot slot 13 forreceiving the cir cular pivot tongue 14 extending from a circular disk15, a pin 16 holding the tongue extends into a slot 17 in the supportingbracket 18 and is held in place by the pivot pin or screw 19. Theperiphery of the disk 15 has ratchet teeth 20 to be engaged by a pawlpin 21 held in engagement with the teeth by a compression spring 22between the pin and thebas'e of the slot 17. The mirror frame m issecured to the base 23 of the bracket as indicated. With thisarrangement the mirror frame on and vertically, it by the being held inlateral adjustment 'of this handle laterally,

frictional engagement of the tongue 14 with the ball 10 and being heldin vertical adjustment by the engagement of the pawl pin with theratchet teeth.

Extending upwardly from the head 9 and preferably along the arc of acircle is a tu-. bular arm 24 with which the extension rod 25 hasfrictional telescopic engagement,'the end of the rod 25 supporting theupper mirror structure. The upper mirror structure is constructed in thesame manner as the lower mirror structure, the frame 111/ being securedto the bracket 26 which pivots the ratchet disk 27 and contains the pawlpin 28, and the tongue 29 extending from the disk having frictionalpivotal engagement in the ball. 30 secured to the end of the extensionrod 25. The upper mirror is thus adaptable for vertical and horizontaladjustment or any combination thereof. By

sliding the rod 25 into or out of the'tube 24, the upper mirrorstructure can be adjusted bodily with reference to the lower mirrorstructure and such bodily adjustment together with the individualadjustment of the mirrors will enable any setting so that the top andback of the head and the face can be seen at the same time in variousways. To enable more ready adjustment .of the rod 25 a handle 31 issecured thereto, and to the tube 24 a handle 32 is secured. To

efi'ect further adjustment of the mirror structure the handle '33 isprovided on the head 9 and extends downwardly and forwardly to within ashort distance ofthe periphery of the base '5. By'moving the end on thepivot pin 8 to carry the mirror supporting structure into any desiredposition. The head 9 together with the pin 8 and handle 33 arepreferably in the form of an integral casting, and the lower end of thetube 24 is secured of a set screw or pin 34. To prevent accidentalremoval of the head 9 from the base, the pin 8 may have a peripheralgroove into which a locking screw 85 projects.

I thus provide a light yet substantial 'mirror structure which is ofneat appearance and which will enable universal adjustment so that thetwo mlrrors can be used to the the head is rotated PatentedJan.1l4,1913. v

.l do not, or course, desire toloe limited to the enact details oil"construction shown, as changes are possible which would still comewithin the scope or my invention and It therefore claim the following:

l. in a toiiet mirror structure, the comloi- -nation oi a lease having averti'cahpivot poclret its upper end,a head having a "downwardlyentending pin pivotally engaging in said pocket, a lower mirrorstructure supported on said head, a tubular arm eirtending upwardly andforwardly from said head, -a curved extension rod having iErietionaltelescopic engagement with said arrn, an upper mirror structupesupported at the outer end of said rod, and a handle engagement in saidarm, a pivot member sein said pocket, a

cured to the outer end of said rod, a bracket having pivotal engagementwith said pivot rneinher, and an upper mirror trarne secured to saidloraclret,

3. in atoilet mirror structure, the combination of a lease having avertical pivot pocket in its upper end, a head having a downwardlyextending pivot pin engaging ivot rneinher secured to said head andhaving a pivot slot, a ratchet a pivot tongue irictionally enintaaatgaging in said slot and set at right an ice with reference to saiddislr, a loraclret havin a slot in which said dislris pivoted, a paw'said head and having a pivot slot, a ratchet disk having a pivot tongueirictionally engaging in said slot and set at right angles withreference to said disk, a bracket having a slot in which said dislr ispivoted, a pawl in said. pocket, a spring for holding said pawl inengagement with the ratchet teeth oi said dish, a mirror trance securedto said bracket, and a handle extending downwardly from said head forenabling said head to he turned on its pivot.

5. in a toilet mirror structure, the COII1- I loination of a supportinghase having a vertical pivot pocket at its upper end, a head having apivot pin engaging in said pocket, a curved tubular arm extendingupwardly from said head, an extension rod having frictional telescopicengagement with said arm, a lower mirror ifrarne, universal hingemechanism supporting said mirror frame on said head, an upper mirrortrance, and umversal hinge mechanism supporting said upper mirror framefrom the outer end of said extension rod.

in witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 7th day of dune,A. D. 1912. FREDERICK C, WINZENBURG. Witnesses: 1
